  • An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote.

About Temsco Helicopters

TEMSCO Helicopters has flown in Alaska since 1958 and calls itself Alaska's leading helicopter tour operator. Its tour bases are at Juneau and Skagway in Southeast Alaska and near Denali National Park, with an office in Ketchikan.

From Juneau and Skagway it flies sightseeing tours over the icefields, glacier walks on the Mendenhall Glacier and helicopter dog sledding on glaciers in the Tongass National Forest, under a US Forest Service permit. Near Denali it flies heli-hiking tours into the Alaska Range. It also flies private helicopter charters.

TEMSCO's tours are popular with cruise passengers in Juneau and Skagway, where a short flight reaches glaciers that are otherwise days away on foot.

  3. 3
    Choose your aircraft

    Your quote names the operator and the aircraft before you confirm. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
